Enterasys Port Web Authentication System Guest Networking Status

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.1.16

Guest Networking is a feature that allows a user to get default policy access to the network without having to know a username or password. When this feature is not disabled(1), the username on the login page will be populated with the value from the object etsysPwaGuestUsername and the password will be mask out with asterisks. The password in the login page should never be populated with the value from etsysPwaGuestPassword. When Guest Networking is enabled, and a user submits a request for authentication, and the username is the same as the value from etsysPwaGuestUsername, PWA will use the value from etsysPwaGuestPassword as the password for authentication. When this object is set to disabled(1), Guest Networking will be unavailable. When set to authNone(2) Guest Networking will be enabled and it will not authenticate the guest user using any authentication method. Once the user submits the login page with the username that matches the value from etsysPwaGuestUsername, the default policy of that port will become the active policy. When set to authRadius(3) Guest Networking will be enabled and it will authenticate the guest user using RADIUS authentication Upon a successful authentication from RADIUS, this port will apply the policy returned from RADIUS to that port.
